Turkey Wants Separate Peace Rome, July 16.���������That Turkey has made overtures for a separate peace is confirmed by information from a diplomatic source, but the negotiations are not being carried on in Switzerland as reported and the Turkish government has not sent emissaries there. Instead the Turkish diplomats in the Balkan State are indirectly communicating with representatives of the Entente powers who are authorized to act as intermediaries and fix conditions of peace.

U. S. Government Takes Over Wireless Station Washington, July 15.--The government have taken over the Sayville, L. I., wireless station, the only remaining privately- owned direct means of communication between the United States and Germany. Secretary Daniel announces that Captain Billiard, in charge of.'���������������������������.the naval radio, has taken over the station and would continue its operation. Miners Return to Work London, July 16 It is believed certain that some of* the miners on strike in the western district of South Wales have agreed to resume work today. S. S. Chelohsin appeared on her best behavior this time by arriving at the wharf six o'clock Sunday morning. Our townspeople certainly do prefer that our weekly steamer arrives at a time that will make it easier in the future to spend the day of rest in manner more appropriate and congenial than heretofore, when we would look for the boat nearly all day and when at last it arrived, spend some time at the wharf. Among the arrivals were Mr. and Mrs. G. Lindsell and son, the Misses Olive Kilpatrick, Ethel Carlisle, Addieand Mildred Gibson, Marjorie and Dorothy Clayton.' The outgoing passengers were Miss W. Pecknold and Mr. Geo. Hanson. Miss Pecknold left the valley after a stay of nearly two years. She has had charge of the Lower Bella Coola school and has, during her stay, made a great many friends who regret her departure. We all wish her God speed. George Hanson is off for a visit to the Panama Exposition and also to attend a deaf-mute convention at Vancouver. There is where action will talk. We welcome back to Bella Coola the Lindsell family, which has stayed at Victoria since early in the year. They will again take up their quarters on their farm above Hagensborg. Miss Carlisle and 'Miss. Kilpatrick find the climate, scenery and other attractions of Bella Coola such that they prefer to spend their well- earned vacation'here. Misses Marjorie and Dorothy Clayton enjoy Bella Coola better than any other place because here is .their home which they find doubly attractive after spending a year away at scoool. Misses Addieand Mildred Gibson, return after spending a few weeks with friends and relations in Victoria and Vancouver. Quite a number of government officials pooled their means last week, hired a launch at the mouth of the inlet and came in here on Thursday the Sth inst. We suspect they combine business with pleasure. It is their business that sends them here, but it is pleasure jthey reap by staying amid our beautiful surroundings. We shall name them in the order of their weight, beginning with the heaviest: Mr. R. 0. Jennings, road-superintendent of the largest district in the province, is here to see that the public works carried on here is performed properly. His smiling countenance will not strike terror to those who execute his commands. He found everything satisfactory. C. H. Homer, assessor and collector, called to see if the improvements made last year would warrant him in raising the taxes. It is more difficult for us to surmise what F. McCrea, timber inspector, is looking for as he failed to inform us. But as he passed our office we saw he was in a hurry,.so he no doubt had good reason for coming. But A. H. Tomlinson, provincial horticulturist, is one of the men who could find something to do if he stayed here all the time. And wehavethrough ourcolumns tried to convince him that he should do so; but other places PROVINCIAL ELECTION Your influence and support is respectfully requested. T. D. PATTULLO. Liberal candidate for Prince Ruport Riding. Mr. J. E. Merryfield is not a government official, but he would like to boss them to some extent so he came in with them in order to size them up. He is the Conservative candidate for the Dominion House and is here to see if the fences are in such 'order, that no Liberal candidate will break into the preserves. While the sockeye run on the whole has been very good for the season, this week has seen a falling off in the catch, presumably on account of the cloudy and cool weather. : Wesley Grummett was one of the'outgoing passengers last Sunday. It is rumored he will on his return bring an automobile with him. The annual school-meetings were held at the different school- houses last week. The trustees elected were as follows : At Hagensborg, H. 0. Hanson; at Lower Bella Coola, John Widsten and John Jorgenson; and at Mackenzie. H. G. Anderson and C. Tucker. Wm. Sutherland came in last Saturday from Victoria on his lately purchased gasolene launch. It is a large, powerful craft and we hope it will prove to fill a long felt want in the community. Jacob J. Lunos, who has been confined at the hospital from an illness of long standing, is so far recovered that he left for his home at Noosatsum last Thursday. We regret to inform our readers that our popular physician, Dr. W. E. Bavis, has handed in his resignation to the hospital board to take effect next month. It has been suggested that Ed Oien did not come to Bella Coola to get something to eat as surmised in our last issue, but rather to get someone to cook and rumor has it that he has engaged the best cook in the valley. The South Ben tin k Cattle Co., which is operating a cattle ranch at the head of the South Bentink Arm, has sent out to its ranch a consignment of some cattle and two horses this week. Rumor has it that the Ocean Falls Company wil new resume operations in the near future. If such should prove true it would be of great assistance to the many new settlers along this part of the coast to be'enabled to obtain work during the fall and winter months. Mr. A. H. Tomlinson, provincial agriculturist, who on his tour of the district assigned to him, is here to examine into andj direct the methods of farming} carried on, issued on Saturday j������ last an invitation to the people j a c ment for experiments as to what the soil together with climate and other conditions prevalent in the valley can be made to produce profitably, and also to demonstrate to the farmers the best methods of farming. Mr. Grant has, under the direction of Mr. Tomlinson, had this work in charge and has proven to be the best man in the place for the position. In response to Mr. Tomlinson's invitation a large number of peoj.le of both sexes and all ages gathered on the spacious lawn in front of Mr. Grant's residence. Everybody was made welcome by the ever present geniai host and by thft less active but equally kind hostess. In passing allow us to state that our attention up- m arrival was first attracted by the beautiful border of flowers surrounding the lawn, the smoothness of the grounds and by the fine grove of maples protecting the lawn and the residence from the prevailing westerly winds. As if in accord with the occasion the weather put on its best aspects and everybody was in a holiday mood.. 'Mr. Tomlinson conducted the people through the orchard, fields and plots,,explain- ing to them how to care for the trees, what different grasses were best adapted for the district. Showing also the fine growth obtained of the "roots, cereals, etc., raised in a great variety in the several plots. The scribe has not the ability or training necessary to do justice to the work carried on, and has therefore exacted the promises of both Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Grant that they will in a short time give our readers a detailed account of the most interesting features of the work done by the government at this place. In making the rounds of the farm we must admit of a feeling of regret that our duties prevented us from joining some ladies and children who found the attractions of the raspberry patch tco alluring to be resisted; but this feeling was of short duration because when our rounds were ended and we arrived at the house again, the greensward was soon decked with attractive viands, such as new potatoes, sandwiches, cakes and tea. Everybody showed by their actions that the tour of the farm had sharpened the appetites to such an extent that Mrs. Grant found her larder considerably depleted after the onslaught. The young people did not neglect the facilities which the lawn and surroundings lent to engage in games of various kinds. The gathering was thoroughly enjoyed and proved both instructive and entertaining, and it is our hope that others of a like nature be held as we are fully resolved that if nothing seriously interferes we shall be thej'e. , C GUwrrlt Nuttr? of the valley to assemble at the j farm of Mr. S.

In these "enlightened times when knowledge of a practical - kind can be found on any subject entering into our daily lives, . it behooves every person to gath- ��������� er as much useful information as his opportunities will allow and to use it in a manner to increase -efficiency in his calling.' It is not for our own benefit only that we should so conduct ourselves. We must not lose sight of the fact that we are also responsible to our fellowmen for the way we .do our part of the great world's work. ~ ' While-we owe a great deal to ourselves as individuals,, we also owe as much to our fellow men, and none of. these' duties should be neglected: -We are.cogs in a> great machine, and if a cog does not perform its duty properly the whole machine suffers. This may, likelj', seem a high- sounding preamble to a humble appeal to our neighbors to do the right thing. Butremember that our everyday duties seemingly so humble and unimportant are nevertheless not trivial. . We would like to call the attention of our farmers to one point where they fail to do what ' is right. The government in its endeavor to increase the products of the farm, sent here, last spring, free of all expense, a pedigreed bull for the improvement of the dairy herd. It is an established fact that a good sire is half the herd, and this half is given the farmers of this valley free of charge, and yet, we are 'Sorry to say, they do not avail themselves of the opportunity to increase the yield of their stock. And not that alone, but contrary to law they allow scrub bulls to roam at large to the detriment of the few who are intelligent enough to be anxious to build up their herd. The Government is spending large sums of money every year to enable' the farmers to help themselves, and we consider money spent in that way to be of more use than when it is spent in giving work to those in need of earning money. We should make it our business to see that this money is not spent in vain. We should co-operate with the government when it tries to develop our resources. Now in the matter referred to above; locate the sire at different stations at stated periods in the valley and make the use of it for which it was brought here. Intern the domestic enemy of improved stock (the scrub) and thus help to increase our resources and promote the common welfare. - o o o o o Relief Asked For. While employees of the government are being paid salaries as high and higher than in the flourishing times of tw7o years or more ago, people just as able and just as deserving are appealing ill vain for employment at wages a fraction of those the government appropriates to itself and subordinates. It is time that the people of. this province wake up'to a realization of the fact that resources must be husbanded and not recklessly squandered as they have been heretofore,'and anyone silent on this subject is not a friend "to his country. Read the following resolution passed at a meeting of ratepayers held in | MAGIC READ THE axvwPOWDER Ward seven, Vancouver, and judge if it is not proper for the more fortunate in society to make sacrifices to help the needy. Let the government show its consideration for the people by retrenching. The resolution calling upon. Mr. H. H. Stevens, M. P., to act was as follows: "Whereas there is at the present time great distress in the city of Vancouver owing to unemployment, we have already appealed to _the -provincial authorities and assistance given by them is "entirely inadequate, we appeaL to the Dominion government for some assistance to provide work. The city's resources have been exhausted, that' immediate relief is necessary to alleviate the sufferings of the British families now residing in the city of Vancouver, and we pray that you place this matter immediately before the proper authorities in Ottawa as it is very urgent." o o o o o One Effect of Slow Progress. What at the same time is Britain's glory is also her weakness: her unpreparedness for this struggle. A truly democratic country, her people had no designs upon its neighbors, the people desired only to carry on its pursuits.in"peace, and did not suspect to any great degree that other nations were differently disposed. And if at times its neighbors were distrusted of sinister designs, the British people felt no anxiety. Britain's strength was believed to be such that even if attempts were made to disturb her peaceful activities by foreign foe, such a one would soon discover the error of his way and be brought to terms.

'?m The movement in the United ftates of appointing county ag- iculturists under the provisions, ff the Smith-Lever Bill is prov- i'g popular and spreading rapid- It is a fact conceded by jany experienced in that direc- ion that the bulletins of the ex perimental farms and agricultural colleges do not attain the results expected from them in inducing the farmers to adopt the later and better methods. It is rather difficult to understand the validity of the contention that such a system of county agriculturists will not work here, when it proves so practical with our neighbors. ri2 evi e:<; )tn| an t.i o: & A few lines we specially recommend Duerrs��������� Jams and Jellies Huntley & Palmers ���������Biscuits Griff en ,& Skelleys famous gold and silverbar��������� Canned and dried fruits LEESON, DICKIE, GROSS & CO., Ltd.

Politicians at Ottawa do not take much stock in a despatch from England hinting that Sir Richard McBride may become agent-general for British Columbia in London "if heisnotdrawn into Federal politics in the meantime." It is within possibility that Sir Richard may be agent- general for his native province in London, because Sir Richard likes English ways and needs the money, but the best bettors are wagering ten to one against hip being drawn into Federal politics. Drawing Sir Richard into Feder- politics would be drawing from the discard and that is never satisfactory. Sir Richard is keen enough to be an Ottawa statesman, so keen that he visits Ottawa three times a year to interview Premier Borden -and Hon. Robert Rogers, but the chances are all against him. Premier Borden does not forget that Sir Richard was at one time his rival for the Conservative leadership and the Hon. Bob long ago figured him out as a size 17 collar and a size 6 head. Sir Richard did very well as long as he had his own way in British Columbia where he was a favorite son, but when the surplus of promissory notes began to wear through in spots and a railway policy, evidently conceived by Sinbad the Sailor, began to bear hard on the people and Attorney- General Bowser began to kick at doing all the real work and taking all the blame, Sir Richard's glory faded rapidly. At present the British Colum- bia Legislature doesn't know- where itstands. Sir Richard says it is dissolved and Bowser says it isn't. On top of all that comes the affair of the two submarines in which Sir Richard seems to have played a lone hand because he liked the feel of real money. The good guessers are predicting that Sir Richard's government will be in good luck if it isn't investigated along the same lines as the late Manitoba government is being investigated now. There is also meat for inquiry- by Sir Charles Davidson in the split- cheque aspect of the submarine purchase'which has never been examined in detail. Which means that British Columbia not only has her own troubles but Sir Richard's too���������a fact which will naturally have a chastening effect on his welcome home. The Borden Government has had enough trouble with spotted reputations without invitingmore by asking Sir Richard McBride to come in. Sir Richard will be more safely and comfortably located as agent-general in London where he can chum up with Winston Churchill, the first British statesman to notice "the seal of high destiny on his brow." On the whole, therefore, Sir Richard's chances of being drawn into Federal politics are negligible unless of course the Borden Government is fond enough of discards to link itself up with the troubles of British Columbia. ���������H.

C \A/HAT person so happy and contented as the prosperous farmer? \^L7HAT person so independent? \A7HAT ambition more noble than to be a producer of the necessaries of life? Bella Coola farmers are independent; they are strangers to hard times. THE REASONS for this enviable condi- I tion of affairs are obvious to anyone who knows the Bella Coola Valley. The land is fertile and needs little or no irrigation. The climate is mild and enjoyable ; long warm summers with sufficient rainfall and mild winters make for excellent crops. Large and small fruits, garden and field crops are grown to the best advantage. This fact was established at the Prince Rupert exhibition last year when farm produce from Bella Coola Valley carried away over twenty first prizes. DELLA COOLA and the surrounding country possesses wonderful wealth in timber, as yet almost entirely undeveloped, and perhaps at no other point on the Northern Coast is there the same opportunity for a remunerative investment as in a saw mill at Bella Coola. rz >g>-.<^c>^c'><r>"<^<*>-<'><r>~'<*>y>--<^ c~>^<"> g"^ "POLAR The Best Known and Popular Lubricant for Motor Boats Its use assures freedom from Carbon deposit on valves, spark plugs, or in cylinders IMPERIAL OIL CO.

No manufacturer or wholesalehouse can afford to let slip the opportunity of increased sales that public advertising brings. DEAL ESTATE booms in the cities have come and gone. People are beginning to flock to the country. The North-West Coast of British Columbia offers opportunities for all. Did not know, is no excuse. Investors should keep posted on developments by reading the "Courier." Canadian Newspaper Directory for 1915. It is now nearly a quarter of a century since Mr. A. McKim, who established the first independent advertising agency in ,this country, completed the rather ambitious task of publishing the first Directory of Canadian publications. The nine successive editions of this valuable work provide the most complete and detailed record available of the growth of Canadian periodicals. The 1915 edition, of which we have just received a copy, shows that the great war has not seriously affected the newspapers of Canada. While the biifth-rate of new publications' has received a check, and the death-rate of y the weak ones has perhaps.increased a trifle, most of the leading papers, particularly the dailies, show very healthy increases in circulation. Three metropolitan dailies have reached or passed the hundre thousand mark. A census of the papers listed and described in the 1915 Directory shows a tofal of over 1575 publications. , ' A. McKim, Limited, report the usual keen demand for the Canadian Newspaper Directory, which sells at $2. - Its red-banded, gold-stamped green cover, has become a familiar sight on the desks of advertisers, publishers and business, men everywhere who are interested in Canada.

The best way to show that you are in earnest is to practise it. Support the "Courier" and you are doing something for yourself and your community. In an article written for the export number of the "Canada Lumberman and Woodworker" the Hon. W. R. Ross says: "The enormous quantity of merchantable timber in the Province, the fact that lumber is our premier industry, the importance of our forest revenue���������all these considerations combine to make the marketing of British Columbia lumber a matter that demands the closest co-operation of the Provincial Government. "Therefore, since it became evident that the existing markets for our forest products were hopelessly insufficient, one of the main duties of the Government has been to discover the reasons why, and to set to work,in a practical way to remedy conditions as far as possible. ��������� '"Investigation showed, the need for tariff reciprocity .with Australia- It revealed the grip which the shipping companies of San Francisco and the Pacific States had gained, by organization, upon the sea-borne lumber trade, so that British Columbia was almost' excluded from markets within the Empire that should be naturally hers. It showed how little was known in foreign countries concerning a mysterious wood described as Douglas fir. The most grotesque misconceptions about our timber were found to be ' prevalent among some foreign buyers. Thus two things were clearly revealed���������firstly, ; that a general advertising campaign to stimulate the demand .for British Co- ���������lumbia lumber must be carried on m every accessible foreign market; secondly, definite action must be taken to supply the shipping with vessels without which the commercial expansion of our lumberingindustry is impossible. With 350 billion feet of standing timber and a mill- capacity of 2 1-2 billion feet a year,' stagnation will continue to be inevitable unless ^oceah transportation is provided, for only thus can we relieve our coast and interior mills from ruinous competition with each other in the restricted Western Canadian market." The government must co-operate with the manufacturers in advertising our excellent lumber, assist in securing orders and in fact do all it can to stimulate and develop an industry which is one of the chief factors in the prosperity of the province. We want Canadians to buy Canadian material whenever possible, instead of importing pine from the United States. And, finally, all.'over the world, government departments, railroad boards, large and small importers and the timber trade generally must be given'systematic and persistent information, accompanied by exhibits, concerning every way in which our British Columbia timbers may suit their needs, the stocks available and the range of prices. Australia, India, New Zealand, South Africa, China and Japan are our natural markets, while the United Kingdom and Europe generally .are capable of taking from us certain products in far greater quantity than hitherto. Already we have been encouraged by new business offerings from these countries, and though, through lack of shipping, our operators have not been able to take advantage of all these opportunities, it is certain this obstacle will cease to exist as soon as transportation becomes normal. It is but fair to state "that the provincial government is making efforts to stimulate and extend our drooping lumber trade. $1 a Year Published every Saturday at BELLA COOLA, B. C.
